Poetry Can Show Your Darkest Secrets

You Don't Realize

you don't realize it,

but you've hurt me again.

you can't tell though,

because you don't seem to care.

i only want reassurance,

and to know you'll be there.

but you reply a simple yea,

and my heart goes numb.

i start to cry,

and you ask why.

i make up a silly reason,

and say i'll be fine.

you don't pay attention,

to the hurt in my voice.

so you go along with me,

and it hurts even worse.

i don't know how to tell you,

i love you so much.

but when you leave me like this,

i can't help but feel you don't love me back.

you tell me you do,

and not to worry.

yet i do it anyway,

and you don't even bother trying anymore...

if you would just pay attention,

to how hurt i truly am.

maybe you'd understand,

why i'm like this all the time.

i just want you to tell me that you do love me so,

give me reasons why and not just because.

anyone can say that,

but to truly mean it would be great.

i put so much emotion into every word i say.

i deserve to be given love,

not just give it away.

i don't want to feel like this,

i don't want you to go.

i just wish you knew,

because i love you so...
